Influence Of Firm Size, Strategy, And Structure On The Development Of Accounting, 1776-1989, George J. Staubus
Influence Of Firm Size, Strategy, And Structure On The Development Of Accounting, 1776-1989, George J. Staubus
Accounting Historians Notebook
This paper is a portion of a line of research based on the premise that one's ability to understand and explain the existence of a particular firm's accounting practices, or of typical firm accounting practices, is enhanced by an understanding of the economics of the firm. Both firms and accounting have existed for a long time, having developed together over many centuries. The focus in this paper is on developments in firm size, in firm strategy regarding vertical integration and diversification, and in form of organization as influences on the development of accounting.
British Entrepreneurs And Industrial Revolution Cost Management: A Study Of Innovation, Richard K. Fleischman, Lee D. Parker
British Entrepreneurs And Industrial Revolution Cost Management: A Study Of Innovation, Richard K. Fleischman, Lee D. Parker
Accounting Historians Notebook
Traditional accounting histories date the advent of sophisticated cost accounting from the mid-1880's and credit American innovators of Frederick Taylor's scientific management movement with conceiving the new practices. However, it is counterintuitive to think the entrepreneurs of the British Industrial Revolution would not have developed costing techniques, given their significant methodological advances in other economic areas, such as technology, capital accumulation, and marketing structure development. This paper reports the findings from a survey of surviving business records from twenty-five large industrial firms during the 1760-1850 period, concentrated in the dominant textile and iron industries. Substantial evidence of mature cost management …
Women In Accounting In Great Britain And In The United States -- Some Historical Parallels, Suzanne N. Cory
Women In Accounting In Great Britain And In The United States -- Some Historical Parallels, Suzanne N. Cory
Accounting Historians Notebook
The public accounting profession in the United States has its roots in Great Britain. Chartered accountants from England and Scotland came to this country to account for the capital coming into the States from the Old World [Stevens, 1981, p. 3]. Hence, a history of women in accounting in the United States would be expected to have many parallels with a history of women in accounting in Great Britain.
Natural Business Year: A Review Of Accounting Literature From 1915 Through 1988 Shows A Shift Of Proactive To Reactive Behavior By Accountants, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch, Mark Higgins
Natural Business Year: A Review Of Accounting Literature From 1915 Through 1988 Shows A Shift Of Proactive To Reactive Behavior By Accountants, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch, Mark Higgins
Accounting Historians Notebook
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 brought back the topic of the Natural Business Year in a shocking manner to accountants. The hard work of over seventy years was lost, as individuals and partnerships effectively lost the Natural Business Year alternative. This paper traces the proactive accounting development of the Natural Business Year concept to the reactive mode of the last three decades.

Insights Into The Recent Proposals To Change The Cpa Exam, Wilbert Schwotzer
Insights Into The Recent Proposals To Change The Cpa Exam, Wilbert Schwotzer
Accounting Historians Notebook
Proposed changes to the CPA exam and the resulting discussion and debate suggest the need to review the source and purposes of the exam. The State Board of Accountancy of each state has statutory responsibility for the preparation, administration, and grading of the CPA exam. All fifty-four Boards of Accountancy purchase the preparation and grading services of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Board of Examiners. Thus, the Board of Examiners is the sole provider and designer of the CPA exam. The CPA exam, as a licensing exam, is intended to protect the public welfare by testing for minimal …
Concerns And The Profession Of Accountancy, Eugene H. Flegm, Pamela J. Duke
Concerns And The Profession Of Accountancy, Eugene H. Flegm, Pamela J. Duke
Accounting Historians Notebook
Expressing a growing concern about the proliferation of accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the trend these pronouncements appear to be taking toward a more theoretical viewpoint, Gene Flegm was particularly critical of FAS Statements 94, 95, and 96. These deal with consolidation of majority-owned subsidiaries, statement of cash flows, and accounting for income taxes. While intended to correct accounting abuses, in his opinion these statements not only fail in their intent, but actually create opportunities for abuse by complicating an already complex reporting system and do nothing to increase the reliability of accounting information.

Historical Evolution Of The Extraordinary Item Concept, Jack O. Hall, C. Richard Aldridge
Historical Evolution Of The Extraordinary Item Concept, Jack O. Hall, C. Richard Aldridge
Accounting Historians Notebook
The notion of extraordinary items has been clearly defined since the Accounting Principles Board issued "Reporting the Results of Operations," Opinions of the Accounting Principles Board No. 30 in 1973. The opinion established the criteria of infrequency and unusualness for extraordinary item treatment. In addition, the opinion discussed the proper presentation of extraordinary items in an income statement format. Although extraordinary item treatment is a well-understood concept, little has been written about the forces and developments that led to the issuance of Opinion No. 30. The purpose of this paper is to review the historical developments that led to the …

Some Thoughts Concerning The Board Of Trustees Of The Academy, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch
Some Thoughts Concerning The Board Of Trustees Of The Academy, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch
Accounting Historians Notebook
I attended a four hour key member meeting on Friday, December 1, in Atlanta and then a two-hour review with some members on Saturday afternoon, December 2, in Atlanta. My goal was to see what the trustees could do to help The Academy. My reading of many books on "Boards" did not yield much specific help, as almost all were written for the private sector. The one book that was not for the private sector assumed that the organization had a full-time and paid staff, which is far from what our organization has or ever will have. Your responses on …

Accounting Historians Notebook
Prior to World War I, accountants and academics generally advocated the preparation of accounting statements based on an assumption of a stable monetary unit. During the war, the industrialised countries experienced moderate inflation but this was reasonably quickly controlled in the USA and the UK. However, post war inflation in Germany was not so rapidly controlled and revealed the shortcomings of accounts prepared under traditional assumptions. This stimulated several academics to consider ways in which this problem might be overcome, and their studies were to provide the foundations for later work on inflation accounting in the USA and the UK.

Accounting For Labor In The Early 19th Century: The U.S. Arms Making Experience, Thomas N. Tyson
Accounting For Labor In The Early 19th Century: The U.S. Arms Making Experience, Thomas N. Tyson
Accounting Historians Notebook
The Springfield armory was the largest and among the most important prototypes of the modern factory establishment, and its accounting controls were the most sophisticated in use before the 1840's (Chandler, 1977). Until that time, the armory's accounting system did not integrate piece-rate accounting and a clock-regulated workday into prespecified norms of output. Hoskin & Macve (1988) have argued that accounting was unable to establish norms, increase labor productivity, and thus attain its full disciplinary power until a West Point managerial component was established in the 1840's. They then called for further discourse to verify or refute this contention.
Pictures And Public Relations In Corporate Annual Reports, Dale L. Flesher
Pictures And Public Relations In Corporate Annual Reports, Dale L. Flesher
Accounting Historians Notebook
A corporate annual report has a wider purpose than the mere communication of financial information. The report is a public relations tool to sell the firm to interested readers. The firm's story is told using the traditional methods financial statements, notes, management letter, and auditor's report. But sooner or later, the firm adopts the use of pictures and narrative captions to aid in the telling of its story. This study examined the first use of photos by 14 large corporations. The average year of first usage was 1947. In most cases, companies evolved slowly into the use of pictures, but …

Saga Of A Freedom Of Information Act Search, Dale L. Flesher, Tonya K. Flesher, Jeanni Atkins
Accounting Historians Notebook
Locating and gathering research materials may be the most difficult aspect of conducting historical accounting research studies. One must dig for archival materials in any fertile ground. An important source of data may often be overlooked by historical researchers due to the perceived difficulties of dealing with the bureaucracy of the federal government. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides a vital source of inquiry on many subject areas once the tricks of dealing with government agencies can be mastered.

Evolution Of The Uniform Cpa Examination, Kent T. Fields, William D. Samson
Evolution Of The Uniform Cpa Examination, Kent T. Fields, William D. Samson
Accounting Historians Notebook
In this paper there are four research issues. First, the developments that led to the institution of the first CPA Exam are identified. Second, the evolution of the earliest state CPA Examinations into the "uniform" CPA Examination is investigated. Third, the early CPA Exams are compared to the current exams as a way of illustrating the impact that these first exams have had, and continue to have, on modern exams. Last, in a very subjective way, the rigor of the early examinations is compared to "modern" examinations in an attempt to draw conclusions about the relative difficulty of the old …
Primer On Oral History, Marilynn Collins, Robert Bloom
Primer On Oral History, Marilynn Collins, Robert Bloom
Accounting Historians Notebook
The purpose of this paper is to present "oral history" as a means of doing research on accounting history. As a research tool, oral history can be used to supplement and clarify the written record. It has scarcely been used in accounting history despite its great potential for illuminating past events and circumstances. We take the position that interviews of the principal participants in professional accounting standard-setting and practice by academic accountants can serve a valuable objective, for example, in terms of explaining how a particular accounting standard was developed. Additionally, such interviews can have the effect of alleviating the …

Exploratory Story Of Early Empiricism In U.S. Accounting Literature, Dale A. Buckmaster, Kok-Foo Theang
Exploratory Story Of Early Empiricism In U.S. Accounting Literature, Dale A. Buckmaster, Kok-Foo Theang
Accounting Historians Notebook
Little or nothing is said of empiricism in U.S. accounting literature during the first half of the twentieth century in accounting history literature. We cannot make generalizations about the extent or role of empirics in the development of accounting thought. This lack of knowledge may be imposing unnecessary bounds on our understanding of how accounting literature has developed. This study has the very modest primary goal of determining if an empirical literature existed prior to 1950 that was extensive enough and substantive enough to have influenced the development of accounting thought. A secondary goal is to make some general comparisons …
